Memory of Germinant Stimuli in Bacterial Spores
(2015-11)
Bacterial spores, despite being metabolically dormant, possess the remarkable capacity to detect nutrients and other molecules in their environment through a biochemical sensory apparatus that can trigger spore germination, ...
Label-free classification of cultured cells through diffraction imaging
(2011-05)
Automated classification of biological cells according to their 3D morphology is highly desired in a flow cytometer setting. We have investigated this possibility experimentally and numerically using a diffraction imaging ...
In Vivo Blood Glucose Quantification Using Raman Spectroscopy
(2012)
We here propose a novel Raman spectroscopy method that permits the noninvasive measurement of blood glucose concentration. To reduce the effects of the strong background signals produced by surrounding tissue and to obtain ...
Multifunctional experimental assessment in a newly established Mediterranean restored marsh : marsh elevation, carbon accumulation and pollutant concentration reduction
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The Delta of the Ebro River (Catalonia, Spain) is among the most important marsh areas in the Western Mediterranean Sea, highly valuable both economically and ecologically. Fluvial sediment reduction by dams in a relative ...
The Relationship between Neuropsychological Measures of Executive Functioning and Anxiety with Neurophysiological Markers of Cognitive and Affective Control
(East Carolina University, 2014)
With cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) centrally positioned as the dominant model in the psychosocial treatment of mental disorders, research investigating biomarkers of dysfunctional cognitive processing may aid our ...
Questioning "Questioning" as a Sexual Identity and Label : An Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Sexual or gender minorities often experience poorer health and mental outcomes than their heterosexually-identified or cisgender peers. Among those often included as sexual or gender minorities are those who identify as ...
Comparing the Quality of Media Coverage in Democratic Elections
(2015)
This research study looks to determine the varying quality of election coverage in democratic nations. Articles from USA Today and The New York Times that covered the 2012 presidential election were used to study media ...
A PRECIPITATION ORGANIZATION CLIMATOLOGY FOR NORTH CAROLINA : DEVELOPMENT AND GIS-BASED ANALYSIS
(East Carolina University, 2014)
A climatology of precipitation organization is developed for the Southeast United States and is analyzed in a GIS framework. This climatology is created using four years (2009-2012) of daily-averaged data from the NOAA ...
The Role of eIF4G-1 Isoforms and Live Cell Imaging of IRES-mediated Translation Initiation in Breast Cancer Cells
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The development of cancer is a consequence of mutations that lead to dysfunctional cell processes such as unrestrained cell proliferation, resistance to apoptosis, and improper regulation of cell processes such as translation. ...
PARSING POLYPHYLETIC PUERARIA : DELIMITING DISTINCT EVOLUTIONARY LINEAGES THROUGH PHYLOGENY
(East Carolina University, 2013)
A taxon is defined as polyphyletic when it does not include the last common ancestor of all true members of the taxon, resulting in a number of subgroups not united by a common ancestor. Previous work has suggested Pueraria ...
